Best toaster oven for broiling

6 Best Toaster Ovens 2022

We updated this article in July 2022 to ensure all picks previously tested and vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances Lab were in stock and reflected current pricing.

Toaster ovens deserve respect: They take up minimal space, can replace several kitchen appliances (like your toaster and air fryer — heck some are already air fryer toaster ovens) and shorten cooking times, especially when you use the convection setting. In addition to toasting bread and bagels, they can cook whole chickens and roast vegetables. Since most toaster ovens don’t require preheating, they’re great for the summer months when you don’t want to heat up your entire kitchen with your full-size oven. They're also energy efficient and use as little as half the energy of a conventional oven.

In the Good Housekeeping Kitchen Appliances Lab, we test toaster ovens to see which ones can produce the most even, golden brown toast in the shortest amount of time. We've tested about 60 in the past ten years. Scroll to the bottom of this article for more information on how we test; in the meantime, here are our top picks for the best toaster ovens you can buy in 2022 based on testing:

How we test toaster ovens
For our most recent test of more than 20 toaster ovens, we toasted more than 500 slices of bread. We check for evenly cooked baked goods as well as the ability to broil steak and to melt cheese on open-faced sandwiches. For toaster ovens with air fryer functions, we test how quickly and evenly they crisp up chicken wings and frozen French fries. We also evaluate the toaster ovens based on their design quality, user manuals, control panels, ease of use, number of rack positions, interior visibility, audible alert and cleanability.
What to look for when shopping for a toaster oven
✔️ Space: Consider how much room you have as well as what you want to use the oven for. If space is not an issue, dream big: Ovens like the Breville Smart Oven Air and the June Oven can fit a small turkey. If space is an issue, there are many compact ovens on the market, like the Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp, that can still fit six slices of bread at one time, or a 13-inch frozen pizza.
✔️ Design: Since your toaster oven will most likely live on your counter, aesthetics are important. Digital toaster ovens with stainless steel housing are typically sleeker and more modern looking than their mechanical counterparts.
✔️ Rack positions: Most toaster ovens have two rack positions, but the largest have three. The added rack position allows for even more cooking versatility and usable space, especially for air frying or dehydrating. As a general rule of thumb, the uppermost positions are used for broiling, while the middle are used for toasting bread and baking, and the bottom is used for cooking large roasts or pizzas.
✔️ Accessories and additional features: Most toaster ovens come with at least one rack and a baking/broiling pan (note: a heavier baking pan means less warping over time). Most toaster ovens now come with a removable crumb tray that is dishwasher safe too. Being able to toss them in the dishwasher is also very important: Dishwasher-safe parts help with toaster oven maintenance by preventing smoking from caked on gunk and keeping things looking new and shiny.
Some toaster ovens come with an air frying basket/rack, others with pizza stones or rotisseries spits, and many include an interior light, which helps you see inside without opening the door. We found this feature to be very useful, and were also pleased with toaster ovens that had large, glass doors for the easiest viewing.

How to choose a toaster
2 device.

Number of slices. Toasters are available for 2 or 4 bread slices. Although the 4-serving model will take up more kitchen space, it is more practical for a large family. 4-portion toasters are often equipped with two different thermostats, which allows you to cook toast with different degrees of roasting at the same time.

Slice slot width. The wide slot is required when you cut bread into thick slices of uneven thickness, and when toasting buns, bagels and other baked goods that differ in shape from a regular loaf.

Body material. The plastic case of budget toasters must be resistant to heat and not emit dangerous fumes. If a metal case is used, it must not burn fingers or leave fingerprints.

Number of browning settings. The perfect toaster can toast bread from very light to very dark. The same roast level should produce the same shade every time.

Bread crumb tray. Retractable tray for easy cleaning of crumbs. The conveniently designed tray pulls out safely even when the toaster is still warm.

Lift height. Choose a toaster that raises the slices high in the slot for easy access. Some models are equipped with an additional level of lifting of small pieces of bread, which will allow you not to burn your fingers when taking them out.

Additional functions. This includes bread defrosting, bun warming and slice auto-centering. In addition, some toasters combine the functions of other kitchen appliances.

The toaster roaster melts cheese on a sandwich and fries eggs. Grilled toaster is great for roasting meats and vegetables. The toaster sandwich maker will prepare stuffed sandwiches.

Cancel button will stop the roasting process and prevent the bread from charring if the mode is not selected correctly. Some models are equipped with a pause button to check the degree of browning of the bread in the middle of the cycle without interrupting it.

Electronic or mechanical control. In the case of mechanical control, you will have to manually adjust the settings and control the toasting of the bread. Electronic control uses the readings of the sensors and sets the settings automatically.

Some factors can be ignored as they are not essential for well browned toast.

Power. High power toasters toast bread faster but do not guarantee perfect toasting.

Countdown timer. The remaining time is shown on the LCD and allows you to calculate the preparation of a cup of coffee or tea while the toast is being prepared.

Drawing on toast. Children's bread toasters burn a pattern onto the slice using a specially designed heating element.

How to choose a toaster for your home

When buying any electrical appliance, the question always arises, which one is better to buy. Reviews on the Internet indicate that it is better to choose a device for the home, which has the following characteristics:

Number of departments . It is selected depending on how many slices are planned to be cooked at the same time. Currently, there are models with two or four compartments.

Power consumption . The speed of bread preparation depends on the power of the device. The higher this value, the faster it will fry. Most toasters have power ranging from 800W to 1.6kW.

Presence of thermostat . This item is for selecting the duration and temperature for roasting the slices. In modern models, six temperature modes are possible.

Presence of manual override button . With its help, you can stop the heating of bread at any convenient time, regardless of the selected mode.

In addition to the above characteristics, it is not superfluous to pay attention to the additional functions that the toaster can be equipped with. These include the following:

the presence of an additional frying surface, on which, simultaneously with toasts, you can fry a cutlet or scrambled eggs;

possibility of making sandwiches;

presence of a grill;

bun warming function on special rack;

possibility of printing on bread;

toasting bread on one side only;

defrost function;

the possibility of heating the slices without drying them.

In addition, the toaster may have other useful and interesting little things that make it more comfortable to use. These include:

cable storage compartment;

high rise of small slices;

automatic centering;

electronic control unit;

crumb tray.

Equally important is the mode in which the toaster can operate. There are three of them: mechanical, semi-automatic and automatic. In the first case, the entire process of making bread must be controlled manually. In the second option, due to the presence of a thermostat, the device turns off when the set temperature is reached. In the automatic mode of operation, the timer and thermostat are activated at the same time, which allows you to set the necessary parameters and go about your business without worrying about the process of preparing breakfast.
